[0028] Furthermore, the top of the upper cover 2 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 204, and the two ends of the handle strip 201 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the arc-shaped groove 204 respectively. There is a distance between the lower part of the middle of the handle strip 201 and the bottom of the arc-shaped groove 204, and the upper part of the middle of the handle strip 201 extends beyond the top of the upper cover 2.

[0029] A handle 201 is provided above the top cover 2. The entire outer shell structure, including the internal battery, can be lifted using the handle 201 for easy movement.

[0030] Furthermore, a positioning block 4 is fixedly connected to one corner of the upper cover 2, and the electrical connector 5 is inserted into the lower part of the fixed connection within the positioning block 4.

Multiple lower plug-in parts 303 are fixedly connected above the base part 3, and the multiple lower plug-in parts 303 equally divide the upper circumference of the base part 3.

[0034] Furthermore, the lower plug-in part 303 is inserted into the fixed connection lower clip part 103 above, and the bottom of the main protective shell 1 is tightly fitted with the top of the base part 3.

[0035] After the lower clip part 103 located below the main protective shell 1 and the lower plug part 303 located above the base part 3 cooperate with each other, the main protective shell 1 and the base part 3 form an integral unit. In this way, the main protective shell 1, the upper cover part 2 and the base part 3 form a complete outer shell structure. At the same time, a gasket is also provided at the sealing point between the main protective shell 1 and the base part 3 to protect the internal battery and prevent collisions.

[0038] After the battery placement part 101 inside the main protective shell 1 is engaged with the battery mounting groove part 301 above the base part 3, the battery is placed from the top of the main protective shell 1 into the interior, so that the parallel battery pack is protected by the main protective shell 1, the top cover part 2 and the base part 3.

[0039] The base component 3 has multiple grooves 302 at its bottom, and a buffer block 6 is inserted and fixedly connected into the grooves 302. At the same time, the bottom of the buffer block 6 is lower than the bottom of the base component 3.

[0040] The base component 3 has a buffer block 6 at the bottom, which buffers the entire shell structure from below. When the shell structure is placed vertically, the buffer block 6 increases friction and support.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] After the upper locking part 102 provided above the main protective shell 1 and the upper plug-in part 202 provided below the upper cover 2 are inserted into each other, the main protective shell 1 and the upper cover 2 become one unit. After the lower locking part 103 provided below the main protective shell 1 and the lower plug-in part 303 provided above the base part 3 are inserted into each other, the main protective shell 1 and the base part 3 become one unit. The battery pack is placed inside from the top opening of the main protective shell 1, so that the battery pack slides down along the battery placement part 101 inside the main protective shell 1 and the bottom of the battery pack is placed in the battery mounting groove part 301 above the base part 3. In this way, the battery pack is installed in the entire shell structure. Then the upper cover 2 is pressed closed, so that the entire shell structure protects the parallel battery pack.
